About Tesla Education
Tesla Education is a fully authorised IB World School in Tân Bình, Ho Chi Minh City. Founded in 2015, we offer the complete IB continuum: the Primary Years Programme, the Middle Years Programme and the Diploma Programme. We are a member school of the Council of International Schools.
Our dual track model brings the IB together with the Vietnamese national curriculum. Students grow as confident global citizens while staying rooted in Vietnamese language and culture.
We are a young, ambitious school. Great teaching in every classroom, every day, is our priority.
Our Tesla Teaching
Framework (Connect, Teach, Practise, Reflect) sets a clear lesson rhythm that balances structured teaching with guided inquiry. We measure what matters and act on it. Joining us now means helping shape a full continuum school in its most important years.
Purpose of the Role
This is a dual role for a teacher who loves mathematics and understands how children learn a new language. You will teach Mathematics in MYP 1 to 3, building the strong foundations our students need for MYP 4 and 5 and the Diploma Programme.
You will also lead English as an Additional Language support in the upper PYP. This role establishes dedicated EAL provision in our primary school. You will help students access the full curriculum and move into the MYP with confidence.
